his approach has been to compare it nelson mandela. mandela wanted to make sure he wasn't just president of the black majority in south africa but he was president of the whole country when he was elected in 1994. that's kind of the same message that president obama has been talking about although obviously very different in terms of the circumstances but talking about income inequality in general, talking about failing schools in general, talking about how many individuals are in the judicial system in general. not specifically focusing on african-americans although on occasion such as father's day he does talk about messages for african-americans but often when he does try to do that, the same black leaders criticize him for lecturing him. in a way it's a double-edged sword. he can't win. >> and let's also listen to something else that was significant. this was a moment that a lot of people really resonated with. >> there are too many leaders who claim solidarity with madiba's struggle for freedom but do not tolerate dissent from the

mandela and comparing nelson mandela to gandhi and dr. king and abraham lincoln. this was a remarkable address. >> i think it was very personal for the president. and i think he was obviously inspired. his first political awakening came in the anti-apartheid movement. something he said i just really struck me and had resonance with me, that lovely line that nothing was inevitable about nelson mandela's life. i think in some sense he's thinking about himself, too. nothing was inevitable in barack obama's life. and i think he sees this strange ark that they both have been on and kind of weaving together. also very few people who ever in a position of power were able to speak about nelson's legacy in real time. >> and on that point of legacy, the president then used that in his speech to say we must all been asked how well have i applied his lessons in my own life, that that matter of reflection about mandela's life to our own differences and circumstances. >> yes. i mean, he's talking about the inner mandela in all of us. if you can somehow

mandela, but i can't help but think how recent it was in history nelson mandela was a contested political figure. we were playing some of the clips in the intro. how do we get from the late 1980s, early 1980s, we have william f. buckley in 1990 saying this will be a day of infamy, maybe. how do we get from there to here? what's happened? >> part of what's happened is mandela, himself, was so effective in demonstrating he was a leader of peace and reconciliation. so the fact that people have stereotyped him into a particular type of violent, dangerous person, thanks, greatly to the propaganda of the apartheid regime, by the way, he was able to transform himself by his very acts. one of the quotes he gave one of my favorite is the courageous do not fear forgiveness for the sake of pales. >> that really embodied his leadership. >> sean, take us back. i think for people who didn't live through and don't remember the political debate we outlined there, that took place in this country in sort of the reagan years ago how did that idea of nelson mandela is this, maybe he deserves to be in jail? m

the legacy of nelson mandela. if there's one thing that comes to mind that you would like to see stay out there, his spirit remembered that way throughout the world, what would that be? >> well, i maintain that because of what he and the archbishop achieved, it sort of suggests that one day there will be peace in the middle east. it's because of his insistence that you don't get even with people. that's the wrong way to approach it. and he says that -- keep in mind, he had even his guardians, his prison guardians at his inauguration in seats -- in preferential seating. i think that if we the people are able to learn from him, things will be better off. peace and reconciliation could not have been achieved or even suggested during the nuremberg trialed after world war ii, but he did. >> well, n york city mayor david dinkins, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the show. >> you look terrific. >> well, thanks. i've been to hair and makeup. >> i'm afraid it's more than that. >> you're too kind. glad you'r
